I have a short and curved penis. How to boost my libido?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you have mentioned you have curved penis towards left side. Curvature of the penis is one of the symptoms of peyronie's disease. But it needs to be corrected by medication or surgery only if you have pain after erection or if you are not able to perform sexual intercourse. In mild cases, it does not cause any problem and resolves on its own with time.

How to manage restlessness and hallucinations in my mother?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. According to your explanation of the symptoms, it is more like delirium due to some underlying pathology. She is 82 years old, so already, her memory has been weakened due to aging. I do not know about her cognition and memory. Is she able to identify and recognize the family members, particularly when there are hallucinations, restlessness, and agitation? Does she talk to persons who are not present? Has her sleep-wake cycle reversed? Does she try to search for something in bed, picking clothes and bedsheets? Whether she sees insects and snakes in the surroundings? If these are present, then delirium is confirmed.

I am 26 years old, female who has PTSD, bipolar and major depression. I also suffer from migraines, anxiety, and insomnia.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your concerns. I feel that Topamax 200mg which works well for migraine has a little role in bipolar disorders. Studies show that monotherapy with topamax is not recommended but instead of taking topamax, you can try sodium valproate (Depakote xr 750mg at night) which will be helpful to you in both your migraine and bipolarity. Divalpoex sodium (depakote) has sedative property as a side effect.

Why is not there as much pleasure in sex as in masturbation?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. At the age of 30, the neurological illness, diabetes, and hypertension are not common. So mostly the cause is anxiety and stress for erectile problems. Stress and worries can make a person distracted even while masturbation. When a person watches a porn movie because of the visual content, a person cannot have much distraction but when a person is doing masturbation or sex, he may have distraction because of stress.
